Absolutely beautiful. I'd love to learn how to do that some time. I know how to build scale model aircraft, but I really admire you ship guys.

Excellent model.

I read that the Canadian "Flowers" did not have wooden top decks making movement dangerous particularly loading depth charges in bad weather. I could not understand this as Canada is the last place on earth to be short of timber. Comment anyone?

Good morning. The entire ship is scratch built, with the hull being laid up in fiberglass. The plans were taken from "The Flower Class Corvette Agassiz (Anatomy of the Ship)" and blown up to 1/48 scale.
